PURITA^^ISM II POLITICS. 



HON. S. S. COX, OF OHIO, 



BEFORE THE 



Democratic Union Association, Jan. 13th, 1863. 
•"♦♦^■"-^ 



The rocma of the Dtmocratic Union Aseo- 
ciaioD, at 932 Bioadway, were crowdtd, on thf 
eveniig ot the 13rh of January, to their fullest 
capacity, to that all the aisles and entrat.cts 
wtre filled, to listen to an addrees'from Hon 
S. 8. Cox, ot Ohio. The audience wia of tht 
most intelligent and ta^husiastio character. — 
Amoig ihote present were Judge Barbour, 
Judge. McCunn, Hon. E. P. Norlo», Hon, Jas 
Eioike, aLd Hen. Gideon J. Tucker. The hall 
of the Aesocia'ion has Leen ntwly arranged, 
painttd aid decorated, and is well lighied, 
waim and cemfor.abie. Over th? fpeakere' 
pla'.feim ib a gat- jet feimiLg the woid ' Union ' 
It is the mtentien of the Attociation to hold 
•weekly er fcemi-montly mtetirgg, -o be ad- 
dreSbed by iLe most prominent Dtmocratic

to be most intert sting and effective. 

Hoe, Luke F. Cczzens, the President of the 
Aeeeciaiiun, inttocuced Mr, Cox, in a few ap 
propria! e wt rdti. 

Mr. C(x was received wi h great applause 
Wben-ile applause hud suLbidec', he tptke as 
follows : S -TV- 

Gentlemen OF THE Young Men's Democbat 
ic AtsociATioN OF New Yoke :— It this hearty 
enthi-siatm were Letoie an election I could 
more reaoiiy undersiaLd it. It tetrntf, how 
ever, tha' jou have begun the campaign ot 
1864. (Cheers.) Let us be patent and pert-e- 
terirg ; and if the great central States will 



stand by the Wesh till then. «jj they did last 
fall, we may retcae th". fovernmeut'from the 
hands of the spoiers, «ii.d ruinvig.orate the 
La'ional life from that f.tunta in of all power» 
'he people. (Great che, rs.) Gonlemen a 
Ni_w El gland orator, Tris'rt.m Burgee?, once 
Said, 'hitt •' we were surrouodt-d, protected 
a,Ld tecured by otirCons'i'u'ion, from the pow- 
er and violenco of he world, as forue wealthy 
legiors are, by their own barriers, sheltered 
frum the ravages of the ocean. But a small, 
iiir-idious, persevering repilo ma*.', unseen, 
bore through the 1 -fae^t aud brosdes^ mound. 
The water follows its path, silently aod imper- 
ceptibly at firtt, unril at length a breach is 
made ; ar^d the ocean ru-hiog in, docks and 
iierd-", and men, are swept away by the del- 
uge." 

P.;ri'anism is the reptil**, which has been 
bornig in'o rhe mnuud. whieh is the 0«nstita- 
fion, (cheern) and tliis civil wur Comes in hke 
the devo'iriog sea ! Its rushing tide of devas- 
tation will not be sta.ed unf\l the reptile id 
erustied and the mound rebiid";. Tuts willnev- 
I r he accompli- ht d until an administra'ion ob- 
tain-1 control, «hicti, in the language of Gov. 
iesniour, can grasp the dimensions acd con- 
trol ihe sweep of this sanguinary Hood. (Great 
ehcirr.) To obtain such an administratior, 
(he people will, uahapp Iv, have to wait for 
some two >ears. Meanwhile, what new 
schemes of divicion ma> further distract ns. 
My apprehenwion i.", that before the people can 
thoroughly reform themst Ives or the conduct 
of their t>overnment, ano'her atd tenfold worse 
civil strife mny be raging ; not the South 
agdinst the North ; iiot slave against free 
States, but the North against itself. I pray 
God in his mercy to avert tuch dangers. The 
hatred not of New EoKland, but of its arrogant, 
selfish, narrow ar d Puritan policy, now tlomi- 
nant in the Federal government, will, I tear, 



never be allayed until blood is shed in our 
n orthern S^.tea. Thf re U but oue policy which 
could have (.topped it ; the maiuteuabco b,- the- 
Administration of the poUcy marked out in the 
Bummer of 1861, which declared no war for 
conquest— no anti slavery crusade. This alone 
uni<ed the North. This might have preserved 
that unity. But I see no hopes of a return to 
such a pokey. The bigots of New Er-gland 
have their Chandlers iu Michigan and their 
Greeleys in New York, and the anti- slaver j 
pressure continues. Indeed it is now ques- 
tioned whether any policy can now restore the 
Uuioa. Abohtiou has made the Union, for the 
present, impossible, (" That's so.") An 
aroused people may strike biiiidly aud madly, 
and the result mav be the forruaaou of nfcw al- 
liances aojong the Sta,tea and fresh couiiicts 
among the people. 

As a wesiera ms.n, representing the 
capital of the leading Stare of the uQfth 
west duiiiig tbe.-^e past six years, I have 
not been unobservant of the signs in that 
quarter. I have persistently opposed all 
echfmee of seceasion and division. I yet op- 
pose them. But I am far bebiud the impulse 
and sentiment of the West. Tbe erection oi 
the S'ates, wate;-ed t>y the Mississippi a ;d its 
tributaries into an indepec.dent KepubUo ; 
standing on its own resources, mineral and 
agricultural, wich a soil so fat tnat if you " tickle 
it with a hoe, it will laugo with a harvest" ;" 
[cheers, ]— a connection with whioh, would 
be seught by the South and the East, jei^ 
choosing for itself i's cheapest, and best outlet' 
to tbe sea; banded together by river and homo- 
geneity ot interest — is becoming soinethmg 
more than a dream. It is the talk of every o b- 
ej western man. All fall into it, with a facility 
which 18 shocking to ».he olden f ense of nauon- 
ali'y. I speak of these sobf-mes onlv to dis 
approve and to w«ra. Jtut as iu 1861, in mj 
seat in Corgrese, I warned of similar southern 
schemes, but, in vain. All warning fell ' n sod- 
den hearts. In vain tne Umeuted Dougla.s 
ut'ged ; in vaiu the noble Crittendeii plaad 
[Cheers for Crictenden I] New England fanat- 
icism made cjmurouiise impossibli-. Let us 
now be warded iu time! As pa ri'jfic men, 
loving our whoJe country, we must understand 
the sourci^s of this new diaconceiit. The West 
protest now, as New York audPeuasvlrauia and 
New Jer.-ey protested in the last elections, that 
they desire to stand in the Union, tjroiected by 
all <he muniments of tbe Cousutuiion. Gov. 
Seymcui- (icreat cheers^ means much and well, 
when he says that these central aud western 
States will at last assure us of our old union, 
[Oheers ] They are willing to perform the 
voyage— desert the ship who may. Thoy will 
keep all the shipping articles— break tbfem who 
may. Tbey do not intend to be ruled, how- 
ever, by the Constitution- breakiiiR, law-defy- 
ing, negro-loving, Pbaaseeinm (jf New Eng- 
land! [A voice — ''let her slidt)'' — cheers.] No. 
We will keep her in on bar good bebavior and 
cast fortu the seven devils of clerical meddling 
and monopolizing 8ggraiid:zem>-ut from thia 
poUtical Magdalen. [Laugiiter] From the so- 
cial and political ban which wdl be issued 
against this pestilent sf crion, will issue ano- 
ther and a better order of thiuys, under the 
Cou;-titutijn. 

I eatreat the Democratic young men of New 
Yof k not to countenance any of these schemes 
of dismemberment, which we of the West will 
strive to repress ; but never ceftse day nor 
night, to warn the people of tbe new rocks and 
fresh breakers which threaten. He who is 



most faithful in pointing them out in time, 
tnough he may bfj r viled, givea the best oroof 
of smglt) hearttd loyalty and will be approved 
by his conscience and his God. Denying all 
sympathy with aoy scheme wbich ^ouldia any 
way mutilate the Eepablic, I boldly declare to 
you these new aud growing dangers. Jeffer- 
son D*vis IS aware of tbese ih'ngs ; and counts 
largely upon the weakuess, incc^riitude and di- 
vision engendered by the faul errors of this 
Admiuis' radon. Already thn Democratic orgah 
of Cincinnati and me Republican organ at Chi- 
cago, are incuing their waroiugs in season. 
The latter advises its friends in Congress, that 
the farmer whois selling his corn for ten cents 
per bustiel, if he does not use it for firewood, 
is not easily satisfied that there does not exist, 
somewbere, a way tnrough which those who 
act for him at Washington may affcrd him re- 
lief. Ajlv-ast, he will, if the relief cannot be 
instant, want to kuo v why it should not be 
prospective. He is tierfectly aware tbit while 
N^ England is getting the benefl.,e, the 
West is puflfering tbe burdens of this war. 
la N-w Eoj<iaud, the merchants and man- 
ufac'urers have accumulated tortunes with 
Aladoiu l.kT rapidity. Tuere, wages are high 
and contracts abundant ; wh.le the West, with 
'he Missis'sippi sealed, is cbarged extortionate 
rates in tbe transportation of its produce, and 
in the price ot iis purciiases. Its people are 
ro'>bea by tarifl', and robbed on what they sell 
aijd woat. they iitiy. Mr. Beecber has boasted 
.'hat God has given the Yankee that intelli- 
gence tbat knows how to turn to gold all it 
touches. [Laagbter.] Ic is nis insatiate cu- 
pidity, mingled mih his Puritaniem, wbich is 
now mtiking men studv the new Census; which 
makes New York wonder why, with a less pop- 
ulauou, N'.-'^ Euglaud has twelve Senators to 
her two ! Ohio, too, t<o/jd^Ts the fact that hei 
population ic- greater, by 435,294, than five New 
England States, yei tbey Uave ten Senatorf, 
while she'Tias two ! Tho West i* bef<inmng to 
aek whether this political equality among the 
S'ates, made tor a-fti^e reaso , is to be used 
for her oppression ; wne her i> that somce 1*1 
atriOu'able the partial h gisla ion which tos 
ters manut'aciure aud ourdens lUe consumer ; 
which hampers ibe free in erchaiige aud enter 
prize of this great Hrajjuriom ; woich sbui:aotf 
the competition of the world, and gives to New 
Eagland fabrics th« monopoly among ton mil- 
lions of western farmers. \"Vay are we to pay 
fifty per cent more for goods, and lose fifty per 
cent on wbdt, and corn and pork ? Fifty oer 
cent I I bl.oiiid say niuet.i per cent, adding 
the cost of gold,in which the tariif is paid, to the 
custom duiies, which tne consumer at last pays. 
To gra' i'y one favored class and section, are the 
laws of economy suspended wiiu '-tm Constitu- 
tion ? (Laughter and cheers.') Is tree trade 
good, wben in takes •>& the dut.y and .stops ihe 
revenue on maduer and coloring matter, but 
oad it u le's in free coton and woolen fabrics ? 
Is it right to rax Illinois whiskey until tbe man- 
afaciure is atupoed, to gratify ihe members 
froai Maine, ai.d let the tariff remain ou wood- 
S'-.rewB, to enricn a Rbode Island company ? 
One i- made iu the West aud tae other in 
New England ; but is thiit a reason why the one 
should be burdened by an internal tax to de- 
stroy, while the of.her bears an external tax lo 
toster ? Do you wonder that, at pu'iltc meet- 
ings West, it IS resolved that the Misi:is.iippi 
Valley shall no longer be trioutary to Yankee 
cupidity and folly, and that men madly cry 
out : "New England fanaticism and specula-

is the td3,i kb~t ignorance. A man who reads

vity of mind. (Laughter.) It is no evidence 
of smar-uesM that New England should array 
againt-t her tho ideis of the rest ot the Uuiou. 
She showed no smartness in alluwing this war 
to begin, H hen »he could have prevented i'. — 
She has shown none in her estimate of the for- 
midable tharac'.er of the rebellion. Stie has 
shown none in her'Morrll tarilfii and her 
scht-mea of emanoipati'>n. Ii it smart lo build

in it. (Oheers.) Bat it is s. either wu-e nor 
just to impeach a whole people for the i.'sisdo-

But so momentous a conflict as this nas awak- 
ened better mir-d-' ; and in the history which 
posterity will read, the Puritana will olav the 
part of intermeddling destructives, self-willed 
and intolerant, beyond any charactera yet 
kuown to history. 

The grand kHynote of the Puritaa is. tha 
" slavery" was the canae of this war, and rhi 
as men and Chrisii-ins, we sh mid extirpate 6. 
I do not. iutend now to rnfiite thu fallacy. Our

The doctrine of the French Sioialiat Proadhon, 
that property is ro'ib' ry, and -hould be ahol-

Eather than yield this ceDPorship over the 
morals of these States, Ne^ England was ready 
to welcome this bloody strife of brothers Nor 
IS this the first time she has coavulstd the Re- 
public, to propagate her dogmas. In 1798, the 
same overbearing gelti--hi.:eas was exhibited 
In a letter of JuLe 1st, 1798, from Mr Johnson 
to John Taylor or Roanoke, h is said : 

''It is true, that we arecomple'ely under the 
saddle of Massachusetts and Cijunecticut ; and 
that they ride us very hard, cruelly insulting 
our teeliDgs, as well as exhausnng onr strengtn 
and subfcistence. Their naniral frieuds, ihe 
^hree other Eas ern States, join them from a 
feort of family pride, and they have the art to 
divide certain other parts ot the Uuion, so as 
to mHke ure of them to gove'-ntde whole, rnic 
18 not new ; it is the old practice of despots, 
to use apart of ihe people to keep the rest in 
ordtr. Aiid those who have once got. an as- 
cendiLcy and possess themselves of all there 
sources of the nation, their revenues and of- 
faces, have immense means for retainiiig their 
advantage." 

Could there be a truer description of our 
present conoiti .r>, urder the lash and spur 
ot this faoatioism ? Speakir g ot this condition 
and its caase-, an emit.ent New Eoglnnd di?ine 
and scholar, Dr Lord, well remarks, that we 
were ^afe m the Uuion, till the m.^ral balance 
was dtranged ard tbe church and State tell our 
Ot t^etr true relations to each other atd to 
. moral goverument. He t- ays further : 
.,"J^^ ^^re tempted almost unconsciouBly,into 
that snare by in' reducing amoral fitment- 
slavery — into the reckoning of poliics, and 
thereby brought Church Kud Srate logefiher ! 
down to th a' lower level. From f hat lime our i 
glory has departed Our Ctiristianity has be- 
come secular, and our eeculnr filory has been 
dimmed in having lost the reflcciion of a more I 
eptritual li^iir. We have subs itut^d specala- 1 
tion for fai'h, ar d our speculative di--cupsion8 
have bten degraded into angry wranglir g,-,. 
We have made God and man to txchaui^e , 
places : His institutes and His con-tit,utiuns j 
we have interpret* d by the "higtii-r law" of our ] 
own conceits. We have convent d the Sover- 
eign Law Giver into a pohician. We have dis- 
cuesed by our own stand .rdf, and deterniif ed < 
by vote Low it is best /(.r Him to carry on Hii 
government of the world. We have it quired I 
not what He has willed and done, but what it , 
is expedient for Him to will, and say, and do, 
according to a master, a party, or" a school. 
We have popularizt d our creVds meafurt-d ! 
principles b.v tln-ir utilities, and God himself by ' 
His supposed suhsermency to our ideas," '< 

I propose to^ive two illus'rations of these 
truths. The fir.jt is in jour midst Eve- 
ry Sabba'h you have a sermon from Dr. 
Cheever (histes,) dtmoLstraiit g that, our - 
failures in battle are owing to the 
displeasure of God, because of the tin ■ f i 
slavery. (Cries of '• Oh !") He makes slavery , 
the terrible crime of the world in bis own fancy, , 
and reduces Omnpolence to the task of punish- ; 
ing us by war for its exis*er.ce. He convenient- j 
ly forgets that there is aio'her side to the bat- [ 
lie, and that when we fad, God side.-, by his 
foolish logic, wiih the slaveholders. (L'lnt^hter.) 
Parallel with this logic, turn back to 167b when 
Eandolph came to New Eug'aud from the pa- 
rent government, to find out the cause 
Indian war. The answer of the ernment 
Mas^iachusetts, furnishes the c 
It officially declared that "these are the great 



and provoking evils for ifMch God hath given 
the btrbarous heathen commission to rise 
aga'nst them : For men wearing long hair and 
periwigs made of women's hair. (Laughter.) 
For womeu wortriug borders of hair, and for 
cutting, curlit g and laying out their hair, and 
disguising themselves by following strange 
fashions m iheir apparel. (L ugh'er ) For 
profaneness in the people in not frequenting 
f.ne mffefiog-', and otters going away before 
the t'lesring is oropoanJed (Ltughcer ) For. 
soif. ring the Qaaksrs to dwell among them, 
and to set up tneir threslr Ida by Goo's 'hresh- 
' olds, contrary to thei^ old Uws a'ud resolutions, 

with many such reasons." 
j Thus it will De seem that the original defects 
in the Poritan pattern have been c ipied to this 
day. L ke the Chinese ariist, wnea told to 
copy a hue and costly piece of porcelain to 
, 7.'hich some accident had bappc^nt d, he followed 
I his instructious with suph great skdl aad labor, 
1 that he copied the crack which extended the 
whole It-ng h (.f the model. (Laughter.) 
Another fac: of history not generally h :ceptfcd, 
is tha'. tht) chartt-r gi anted oy King Ja^mes to 
the Pilejriuiis, Was for tbe expre.-^a pur^^ose of 
enlarging the gospel by the converi-ioo of the

rival mission to t'Jat of the Jesui s n.inoog the

sequel ebo^^ed that instead of evaugeltztug the 
! Indians, thev soon bf-gan to regard tnem a- red 
I devils, whose extermination was a gre^it du'y, 
I inasmuch as a military necewsi y demauded 
I tbeu rich linds. (Cheers and laugh er ) The 
Salvation of the red m^-n was eutirei.v forgot- 
ten, in I belt disputations amoQg them.-elves as 
to their own creeds. Tht^ir charter w.is viola- 
ted. TurbuloLce and m>3ddling between 'he 
various set'lemetits began to prevail. The 
c!ju>ch ruled with an iron sceptre No one 
could be a vo'tr, if he were not a church mem- 
ber. AlthtJUgh 'he agemsof t)ieP«ri an Bay •

cute la the wilderness as well thise who ad- 
hered to that, church as those who dissented 
from themselves. Coder the rule ot vhi Puri- 
tan cliurch, every form of Burvedl>.,t ce was 
precised. Thela'e si y ^y.-l'em in Nrw E.g- 
Und churches, as illustratt d in the cas-) of the

ac ;Ufeed of disloyalty betoi e a board ot deacons, 
because iheiy wereDeiuocratf, find- I's antitype

was then a general belief that. Massachusetts

ble faut'ics of 1691-2, who huu'ed out little

toda-. — '.nose miirions ot power who spv about 
to a'couce and arrest those who chlfer with 
'hem in politics. (Cheors ) Cotton Ma' her said 
then : "The Ty Dogs ot th^ Pa are auaongst

ecorching us, and 'hat New Euglin'd should be 
thus harrartsed 1 not. by f-wantiy ludiaus, but

Their eyetem tolerated no contradiction and. 
allowed of no diwsent. The statutes of uniiorm"-

tho^e disneDsioDs which were to reod their own 
youthful Republic, audwhoce intolerant ► pirn 
has produced in our time that beci'jual aliena 
tion whicSi deluges the land in blood. Tlie New 
Eugl/Vjd Pilfirim drove Roger Williiima into the

son and Coddington to the same exile, tor dif- 
ferences of opiuion in religion. He enaC' ed laws 
forbidlin^ trade with these outlaws for cuu 
science sake. Savages were more kind th»n 
these Jbigo's ; for the Indians hosfiiTai'ly re- 
cei^ea the victims of persecution. Diedainiiif,' 
the pope as aa'i-Ghri.t, and hitting trie prelate, 
these harrh Pilgrims set. up everj little vanity 
of a preacher as thtir pope infallible, evnry vil- 
lage Paul Pry as an inquisitor, and every sister 
communicant as a spy for the detection ot 
heresy. 

It is an unpleasant task to recall the fierce 
disputes uf ttiese "gospel magistrates." The 
trial otVaux and Coddington, and the trial of 
Wamwright and Mrs. Hutchicson are fruiiful 
in suggestions bearing oa tne present time.

Limbo broad and large, and called 
The Paradise of fools." 



All that relieves New England from the blbck- 
ness of these reproaches, is her splendid zeal 
and sacrifice for independence in the subse- 
quent ceniuiy. Though it is by no means clear 
that she would not have rebelled against the 
best government on earth, or even a commou- 
wehltti ofa,ngelr<, not according to htr own no- 
tion-*, yet the mother covintry gave her cause, 
and she vindicated it with spirit. 

Tbe boact that; tbe Pilgrims were the fathers 
of Democratic liberty in this country, is ab- 
solutely untrue, unless their persecution", 
whic'^i led to it, may be cour-itlered tbe cause of 
such lioerry. Allow me to Cd.ll in ctTtaiu facta 
to prove what I allege :— NeW Plymou'h which 
reniained separate from Mastachnsttts Baj until 
1688, IS pointed to, a- the exemplar in this 
great woik or human progress. The truth is, 
iha. Plymouth rece ved its privileges in a mer- 
cantile line, from tbe Loudon, Virginia, and 
afterwards from the Plymouth Company of ad- 
venturers. They left England, because they 
had not the stamina to remain and cou'end, 
like the Hampdent-, Sydney- and Mil'oiiH, lor 
their Eoglibli privileges. Bradford, Brewster 
and Carver may have been g- dly men , but 
there were men "in the Mayflower wno wished 
a larger liberiy than their leaders weie wiihng 
to accord. Tue famous "Compact," signed in 
the caoiu of the shin, 11' h November, 1620, was 
forced from the superiors by th'^ir inferiors. 
So f livs the historian. (Elliott, 104.) I quote : 
'•■ ! lie m^n of birih ard edueafiou auo'^g the 
Pilgrims, and th-y w-re few, did no: intend a 
Demooracy. They had no faith ic it." The 
eocial disinc ion 'bet ween "Mr." and " Good- 
man" Mtill oontiuued. Not uiuil Williams aiid 
Coddiogtou, resuectivelv, at Piovidence and 
Portismonih, R. I , eslaJpli^hed the fir^^t Demo- 
cracy in America, with the majority of the 
freemen lo make, lawe, and upon tbe bat<is that 
no man choiild be made oiminal for " doc- 
trines," was there any -.rue political or real 
liberty in New Eupland lu Mitssuchusetts, 
according to Judge Story, fiv.' s'XtUs of the 
people w-re disfranchised, because they were 
not m* mbers o* the churcU. The cod-^ of anti- 
Democratic sumptuary law.-* is the most abo- 
uiiiiatil^ ever enacted, no', m-rely for its harsh- 
ness of penalty, bur f r is c*ste discrimii a- 
tio !. It seemsjcopied from the Gentoo code. In- 
deed, we know, as Dr. Homes has saiti, that 
there is vet in Ne>v England the Brahmin and 
Sooercase. Thereiaanold law tta' meu might 
on whipped fort.y lashes, tmt gentlemen ncVer 
except in very fltgraut cH,t-es. Tti<< exceees of np- 
parel were provided against r'gorourly. Men 
ef mean couduioa were no: allowed to 
dress in go!d and silver lace, or buttons, or 
points a' their knees, or to walk in great ooots, 
[laugh' er,] or women of the same raiJi to wear 
oilks, hoods < r scarfs. In Harvard Coll* ge pen- 
alties were meted out up-m ih-* -samH Gentoo 
code of caste. This was Democracy in Massa- 
chusetts. In this Commouw, abb the directors 
of ii company u-turped the power ofrultn^and 
magistrates. The elders of the churdh ur.held 
them. John Cotton wrote with pious horror 
that " D<mocricy was not ordained as fit for 
the government either of church or Common- 
wealth ; as 'or monarchy and aristo-Ta-.^y they 
are boi h of them clearlv aoproved and directed, 
by the Scriptures." The freemen roee against 
both church and rulers, and after a long con- 
test, the freemen succeedt d ; but they, too, 
iiroke the charter. No one was allowed to be a 
freeman? but a cburch member, and the State 
relap-ed into a bigoted church oligarchy — 
1 Tnen began a new contest for supremacy.

terti from the Masswchubef's regim' u(a. She 
forgot her hatred of State Eigbt« in the' late

ic apneal to " a higher autnoriy thau au>

Mexican War, we koow how prompt the Puri- 
tans wer« to seek a refuge troui national duty 
in tiie doctrine of Peace atd Disunion ; we 
know' how Charles Sumrer had found ihe 
" true guardeur of nadous" to conaiHt in arbi- 
tration and peace under every possible coudi 
tion of things' ; and how the press and tbe po- 
ets of Nb'-v England laughwd at the ser- 
geant of the United States when he beat tor 
recruits. By pasquinade and pulpit, the war 
wasOscouraged aud enlit-fmeuts cnfeck-d. Buf. 
now, wnen Tr^e pret^ent war is to be carried on 
against th South ; when Paritaniem iri to be

tion is ro'cktd i>y the throes of civil, and not 
foreign war, ihe baiae old vindictive intolerance 
is arou.-<<;d which made the e^riy Puritans so 
infamous. Tijere is arotiaed the same de^jiie 
to confl ,jate waich changed the n-d men into 
sooty cevils, that tUa Samtn might enter in

THE 




ill) Caucasian. 



THE WHITE MAN'S PAPER, 

The Proprietors of The Caucasian are happy to announce that, 
^Hhe press being once more free," they can now send their paper by 
mail. The Caucasian is issued by the publishers of The D ay-Book, 
the place of which paper it will take for the present. Through the long 
and dreary "reign of terror" it has been regularly issued, though at 
o-reat loss. During that period its proprietors have received a multitude 
of inquiries for it which they could not supply. That time, however, 
being now passed, they will be glad to furnish all with the paper who 

desire it. , 

The principles of The Caucasian are the principles of White Mens 
Liberties, opposition to Negro Equality, and in fiivor of an appeal to 
peaceful agencies to restore the Union and the Constitution. It opposes 
the outrageous system of arbitrary arrests, the suspension of the writ 
of haheas corpus, and all assaults upon the freedom of speech or of the 
press. It is also devoted to an explanation of the so-called Slavery 
Question, and stands firmly for White Supremacy, and a defense of 
the rio-hts and wellare of the. Producing and Working Classes, now im- 
perilled by the doctrine of Negro Equality, High Tariffs, Paper Cur- 
rency and Excessive Taxation. 

With the principles of our forefathers as its platform, The Caucasian 
confidently appeals to all lovers of their country for support, and, sub- 
jected as it has been to the persecution . of the misguided men now in 
office, it would request that earnest efforts be made, in every locality, to 
extend its circulation.
